YOUTH CAMPS

The goal of our climbing camps is FUN!

Whether your kid is climbing for the first time, or has been exposed to climbing throughout their life, these camps are for them! Our kind and engaging counselors provide a safe environment for growing both physically and mentally.

Every day is packed full of topics such as climbing techniques, route setting, belaying, knot tying, yoga, and more. Of course, there’s all the good stuff of summer day camp, too: fun games, new friends, and developing a love for climbing.

Camps run seasonally and vary by location. Learn more about camps in SLO, Henderson, and coming soon to Santa Barbara and Binghamton!

BABIES & TODDLERS CAN CLIMB TOO!

Did you know children climb FREE if they’re under 3 and you’re a member?
Kids under 3 are also free with paid adult passes.

If your baby can sit up, he or she can do tons of cool things here! Our gyms’ locations have child friendly facilities. On those days when you’re looking for something different, we suggest you come in and try some of these activities!
